Czech MPs vote to dissolve parliament for early polls

PanARMENIAN.Net - Czech MPs have voted to dissolve parliament, paving the way for early elections, BBC News said.

New elections will end months of political turmoil after Prime Minister Petr Necas's government collapsed in June amid a bribery scandal.

A government of technocrats, formed by President Milos Zeman in July and opposed by the main political parties, resigned last week.

Fresh elections are expected to be held in October.

The proposal to dissolve parliament was tabled by the three main parties and was backed by 140 legislators in the 200-seat lower house of parliament.
